What is the difference between a theory and a law?

Physics

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.

On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).

Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.

Two negative charges that are both - 3.8 C push each other apart with a force of 19.0 N. How far apart are the two charges?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The separation distance between the two charges must be 82704.2925 m

Explanation:

Given:

Two negative charges that are both q = -3.8 C

Force of 19 N

Question: How far apart are the two charges, s = ?

First, you need to get the electrostatic force of this two negative charges:

F=\frac{kq}{s^{2} } \\s=\sqrt{\frac{kq}{F} }

Here

k = electric constant of the medium = 9x10⁹N m²/C²

Substituting values:

s=\sqrt{\frac{9x10^{9}*(-3.8)^{2}  }{19} } =82704.2925m

During a workout, a football player pushes a blocking dummy a distance of 30 m. While pushing the dummy the same distance a seco
Pavel [41]

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Work = force × distance

Therefore:

Power = force × distance / time

Since the distance is the same, he would have to either increase the force he exerts or decrease the time (increase his velocity) in order to increase the amount of work done.

What is not an example of Absorption? (Physics)
amm1812

When a light wave strikes an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted by the object. All objects have a degree of reflection and absorption. ... In the natural world, light can also be transmitted by an object. That is, light can pass through an object with no effect (an x-ray, for example).
